The Moorambilla Festival is supported by a local committee who ensure the smooth running of all aspects of the festival. They work extremely closely with the artistic director to make the vision of an innovative, inclusive regional festival a reality. These volunteers come from all areas of the community and bring a wealth of experience and positive energy to the festival and its key events.

The success of Moorambilla is in large part determined by the contribution of over 100 local volunteers who organise, supervise, provide catering and transport, support performances and promote the activities of the Festival and the choirs regionally.

Coonamble Council is pleased to announce a three-year commitment to the Moorambilla Festival by financially supporting the Coonamble RTC (Rural Transaction Centre) to help administer the festival, and is contributing towards the advertising and promotions budget for the festival for the next three years.

This is a yearly financial contribution of $10,000 for the next two years (2008, 2009) and $12,00 in 2010. This will significantly benefit the growth of this regional festival, and the cultural health not only of the Coonamble shire, but also of the 10 surrounding local government areas involved in this festival.

The local organising committee and community at large sincerely thank the council for their support and would like to publicly acknowledge their commitment to the ongoing success of the Moorambilla festival.

Regional Arts NSW through the Regional Arts Fund is pleased to support the Moorambilla Festival in 2008 for the first time by presenting two free festival events prior to this year’s festival. The Lantern Parade and the Found Sound Sculptures will directly give visual and aural meaning to this year’s festival theme “flight and freedom”. Four visual artists will be employed to create these amazing works in consultation with the artistic director.

The generous contribution of $22,000 this year will be used to cover all artistic costs for these two free events, and will go towards the costs of insurance, materials, food and accommodation for this innovative project. On behalf of the local Coonamble community and the wider regional community we would like to thank Regional Arts for their support of the artistic vision of the Moorambilla Festival and the region it represents.
